New Program to Help
Small Farmer is
A new program to help the
small farmer to do his part in
serving the nation and
the war was explained today by
Talmadge R. Tucker, Farm Se¬
curity Administration Supervis¬
or for this district, upon his re¬
turn from a FSA regional con¬
ference in Montgomery, Ala.,
which the plans were developed
Mr. Tucker reported that the
conference placed the FSA pro¬
gram on a war footing, for
purpose of increasing food pro¬
duction. To this, he said, every
other part of the program
become secondary for the dura¬
tion.
Minimum goals of food pro¬
duction by families on the
program were fixed, Mr.
said, and practical help for the
small famers, both on and
the program, was planned,
arrangements for loans to
farmers who cannot
credit elsewhere, and who
have help in buying
cows and hogs, in gettin
and equipment.
The plans put into shape

TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1942.
Besides seeking to double the
food production by FSA fami¬
lies, especially in the essential
items of eggs, milk and dairy
products, cheese and vegetables,
the new program includes the
following general goals:
1. Addition of one acre per
family of sorghum or sugar
cane.
2. Efforts to transfer cows
from one family to another and
in some cases from one area to
another where families have
more than two, yet have failed
to manage and feed them ef¬
ficiently.
3. Continued effort to cause
FSA families to keep and fully
develop more heifers and gilts.
4. Continued effort to get
families to have more pastures.
5. Develop plans for storing
food with minimum facilities.
6. Encourage plans for fenc¬
ing to overcome the shortage of
wire.
Mr. Tucker explained the
broad goals of the FSA war
program as follows:
“We should be able in this
period to complete our long ef¬
fort to get small farmers to
produce all the food they will
need for fully adequate diets.
Thus they will not enter the
market to purchase foods need¬
ed for domestic consumption
by urban families or for export
to our allies; and they may be
made to feel that one of the
really important ways in which
they can participate in the war
effort is to produce food.
“The small farm family is

ue of the cotton crop. The a-
mount was less during the de¬
pression, but the migration is
now again fully under way. Na¬
tional contributions to educa¬
tion, then, would not be chari¬
ty to farmers. They would be
payments for service.
As matters now stand the
largest expenditures for educa¬
tion are in areas that have rela¬
tively the fewest children and
on children that will in turn
have the fewest children. The
least and poorest educational
opportunity is now offered in
the very areas from which the
great migrations have taken
place and will take place in the
future.

CIVILIAN DEFENSE
Georgia citizens who have

Employed by armies in Europe,
Africa and Asia have come up¬
on a new tactical term. It is the
term “softening up,” applied
when, say, a squadron of bomb¬
ers attacks a smaller town or
village leading to a larger town
or city. Before the armed forces
can advance toward a more im¬
portant military objective—a
.ailway center, a
town, a supply depot, the
er and somewhat less import¬
ant places in between must be
■leaned up or, as the news
patches say, “softened up.”
Of course, hundreds of

jectives. But if they happen

TRUCK DRIVER’S
BOND PLACED
AT $1500.00
Wm. Boss Charged
With Fatal Injury
Of Dade Teacher
William Boss, charged with
fatally injuring Marcia Mc¬
Daniel, teacher in the North-
End Junior High school, was
given preliminary trial here
Saturday before Judge H. F. Al¬
lison and placed under a $1500
bond.
Boss is an employee of the
Southern Blow Pipe and Roof¬
ing Company, of Chattanooga,
and resident of Chickamauga,
Ga. He was bound over to the
March term Grand Jury on a
charge of involuntary man¬
slaughter.
Miss McDaniel was struck and
fatally injured by a truck driv¬
en by Boss. The accident occur¬
red at Morganville, Friday, Jan.
16th. She died the following
Sunday morning.
Boss was represented by at¬
torney Hale & Hale and an at¬
torney from Chattanooga. The
defense argued that no crime
had been committed due to the
accident being unavoidable.
His bond was made and he is
at liberty.
RED CROSS DRIVE
WILL EXCEED
$500.00 QUOTA
The Red Cross drive in Dade
County is really going over the
top and the quota of $500.00 is
expected to be exceeded when
all contributions are in.
There has been a great re¬
sponse from the schools of the
county, various organizations
and individuals. Over $400.00
has already been handed in and
some of the collection was still
out.
Too, the event, planned for
Saturday night by the American
Legion and Auxiliary, is expect¬
ed to raise a sizeable sum. This
event—a chicken stew at the
Legion Home—will close the
drive and will no doubt draw a
targe crowd.
A complete tabulation of all
contributions will appear in The
Times next week.
CHICKEN STEW
AT LEGION HOME
SATURDAY NIGHT
The last big event to com¬
plete the round up for Dade
County’s Red Cross quota will be
put on by the local post of the
American Legion and Auxiliary
at the Legion Home Saturday
night, Jan. 31st.
The event is an “all out”
chicken stew, supper, etc., in fact
everything that goes with an
honest to goodness chicken stew.
The.se organizations have re¬
solved to raise as much as $50
or over to be applied to the
quota and everything indicates
a big attendance.
Plan to be on hand. If you
can’t stay long, stop by and
have supper at least. An ap¬
propriate program is being ar¬
ranged.
This will finish off putting
our county over the top.

Event Was Staged
For Benefit of Red
Cross War Fund
They came! They saw! They
heard! They helped! That’s
what happened here Friday
night at the Old Time Fiddlers’
Convention staged for the bene¬
fit of the local Red Cross drive.
A packed auditorium heard
and saw our local talent and vis¬
iting musicians “do their best”
in a well arranged two-hour pro¬
gram. Fletcher Allison, who was
kind of ma ter of ceremonies,
did a wonderful job of keeping
the various fiddlers, guitar
pickers, bards, quartets, etc.,
“lined up” and in proper order.
Too, Fletcher sold about 18
cakes while the musicians were
tuning up for the contest.
Leslie Blevins, the blue rib¬
bon fiddler from Aabama, “saw¬
ed” his way hrough to win first
place on the “Lost Train Blues.”
Carl Wadcel , of the Slygo Hill¬
billies, placed second. Carl is a
powerful good fiddler and has
a fine band, composed of Eve¬
lyn Cureton, “Chicken” Scarber,
Rayburn Wheeler, Harold Guf¬
fey and Raymond Waddell.
“Chicken” is quite a comedian,
too. All enjoyed his version of
“Home Sweet Home.” The Slygo
Hillbillies won first place in the
band contest and the Blevins
band won second. James Hen¬
derson was winner of first prize
in the guitar solo contest, with
Smith Bros., of Sand Mountain,
winning second. James and K.
D., accompanied by their father,
Mr. Perry, made some mighty
fine music. Smith Bros., of
Sand Mountain, won second in
the guitar contest. The “Geor¬
gia Belles,” of Sand Mountain,
sang well and added much to
the program; also, the Bob
Douglas band from Chattanoo¬
ga. Bob was not present, on ac¬
count of illness, however.
Two special features of the
program were the singing of the
Dade County Five and the act
put on by Tom Fulghum. This
Dade County Five can really
sing and are natural musicians.
They have won wide recognition
on the radio and at conven¬
tions. Tom, posing as “Bro.
Johnson,” kept the audience in
an uproar for several minutes
with his negro sermon. He is
one of the best.
The Dade County Five and
Tom are employed in Chatta¬
nooga and made considerable
sacrifice to come down and help
out. They really helped out, too.
“The Five” won first place as
“entertainers.” Tom came sec¬
ond and J. Z. Bobo third with
his old time buck and wing
dance. There’s plenty of life in
this Bobo fellow.
Door receipts and selling of
cakes baked by ladies through¬
out the county 'amounted to
$80.05.
Forgot to mention—Ye Editor,
“ably” accompanied by Rayburn
Wheeler and Harold Guffey,
fiddled a couple of tunes.
Appropriate songs were sung
by Mrs. E. A. Ellis and Miss
Virginia Me lauley.
All the r usicians are to be
highly commended for the ef¬
forts put forth to make the pro¬
gram an interesting one. Many
came quite a distance and per¬
formed for the cause and not a
prize.
Following is a list of the ladies
furnishing cakes to be awarded
as prizes and to be sold:
